"The personal attention that I receive at HPU is unlike any other. Through small classes I have been able to establish life-long relationships with my professors. No matter if you're in a class with 25 students or a class with just 7 students, the professors ensure your success."

History

Student Government at High Point University originated as a Men’s and Women’s Council in 1924. Over the years, the students decided to merge the two groups and establish in 1934 what is now the Student Government Association (SGA) of High Point University.

There have been some changes to HPU SGA over the last 80 years, but the purpose has been the same: to lead and be the role models and advocates for the students on campus. This can be seen through all the years of hard work and change that each year’s SGA has brought to campus through student engagement activities, volunteer and service projects, and much more.

Our history is important because it teaches us valuable lessons from our actions and reminds us where we came from. Below you will find a list of all the documented past High Point University Student Government Association Presidents and Vice Presidents for each school year.
